Q

Trapezius

A

Proximal attachment: medial superior nuchal line, external occipital protuberance ligamentum nuchae, and spinous processes of C7-T12.
Distal attachment: Lateral third of the clavicle, the acromion, spine of the scapula, and base of the spine of the scapula.
Action: Retract and upwardly rotate scapula. It can also help extend head on neck if the scapula is stabilized. Upper trapezius can elevate, retract, and upwardly rotate by pulling acromion in an upward + medial direction. The middle trapezius solely retracts the scapula. The lower trapezius depresses, retracts, and upwardly rotate thes scapula by pulling it downward + medially on the root of the spine.
Innervation: spinal accessory (cranial nerve X1) and ventral rami of C3 and C4
